Now that I have a job again, I can start replenishing my wine supply. Sandra and I drank my 2002 High Trellis (an amazing Grenache) a couple of weeks ago, but apart from plonk, I haven't bought much of late.

Speaking of plonk, you may already know about the Argentine Fuzion (Shiraz/Malbec) in the LCBO right now. At $7.45 a bottle, its a great value. Another great value (and a tastier wine IMO) is the Nero d'Avola Enzo di Sette Rue . Very nice for $12.95.

Anyway, one thing I don't have in my new apartment is a decent wine storage place. I decided to stick one in a closet. A convenient sale and a gift card from Christmas for Canadian Tire, and I had a new wine rack.

After reading some reviews on the Canadian Tire website, I decided to buy some #6 1 1/2" screws to replace the nails provided in this kit.
